Antique Chinese Turq Hex Dragon Errored "A N H I C" Mark-Republic Period As-Is For Sale

Item Description:Up for sale is a magnificent, authentic 100-year-old Chinese export hexagonal porcelain vase featuring a vibrant monochrome turquoise (peacock blue) glaze. The paneled body showcases an incredibly dynamic, high-relief molded Imperial Dragon soaring through celestial clouds and flames, dramatically spouting a stream of water into crashing sea waves.THE RARE BASE MARK:The unglazed base features a fantastic historical anomaly. It is hand-stamped with the letters "C I H N A" loaded backward and upside down into the die, reading left-to-right as "A N H I C." This wonderful typo is a well-documented hallmark of regional Republic-period family kilns where artisans hand-impressed symbols they could not read, proving its genuine, handmade vintage heritage.CONDITION REPORT:The central, high-relief dragon artwork is pristine, completely free of cracks or fading. There is a prominent, substantial chip located on one corner of the bottom foot rim (clearly highlighted in the photo gallery) exposing the white biscuit porcelain underneath. Because this is peripheral base wear, it does not affect the balance or display quality of the main facade.SHIPPING & PACKAGING:International Buyers Welcome! We ship worldwide and utilize international shipping logistics to ensure smooth customs clearance and tracking.Due to the fragile nature of this 100-year-old piece, it will be wrapped in heavy-duty bubble wrap and double-boxed with absolute care to guarantee a safe arrival.
